Famous Quotes & Sayings

Steve Jobs

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. You've got to find what you love... So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

Richard Whately

As the flower is before the fruit, so is faith before good works.

Bram Stoker

Faith ... that faculty which enables us to believe things which we know to be untrue.

Alfred Rosenberg

Today a new faith is stirring: the myth of blood, the faith that along with blood we are defending the divine nature of man as a whole.

Alfred Korzybski

Second order effects, such as belief in belief, makes fanaticism.

Alfred Korzybski

If we, who live outside asylums, act as if we lived in a fictitious world- that is to say, if we are consistent with our beliefs- we cannot adjust ourselves to actual conditions, and so fall into many avoidable semantic difficulties. But the so-called normal person practically never abides by his beliefs, and when his beliefs are building for him a fictitious world, he saves his neck by not abiding by them. A so-called "insane" person acts upon his beliefs, and so cannot adjust himself to a world which is quite different from his fancy.

Alfred Korzybski

As words are not the things we speak about, and structure is the only link between them, structure becomes the only content of knowledge. If we gamble on verbal structures that have no observable empirical structures, such gambling can never give us any structural information about the world. Therefore such verbal structures are structurally obsolete, and if we believe in them, they induce delusions or other semantic disturbances.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Faith lives in honest doubt.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

His honour rooted in dishonour stood, And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true.

Alexander MacLaren

Fruitful and acceptable worship begins before it begins.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

By nature, worship is not some performance we do, but a presence we experience.
